Thanks for the replies!
I want it as a return pump for a 20 gallon tank. The 600 (160 gph) says max head is 4.3 feet, and I will have 3'7". I'm just wondering if I'm going to get a lot of head loss being fairly close to the max. I would prefer to have 120-150 gph through the sump, and definitely don't want anything less than 100 gph. Maybe I will email Eheim.

3', 7" including friction losses or just static head?
Those charts aren't necessary that accurate anyway and you'll find similar pumps will have the same pattern so just go by something similar.

That's not including friction loss.
Although today I notice the nano is leaking, so maybe I will be having to get a bigger pump for my other (larger) nano anyway... Rrrrg!

 this is the chart for the Eden version of the pump. and seems like Eheim only offer 3 versions 2000L, 3000L and 5000L.

the box seems to be bang on for head loss... i use a 200 for a waterfall in a tererium and its useless at 2 feet... i use a oddysea 700 for my 20 gallon... works good at 4 feet. i figure around 250gph. cheep pump works great.. i have also seen these pumps used on skimmers and work awsome.. very fine bubbles and the pinwhell comes with the pump.
